GoFundMe for Android
If the app would work I would give it five stars. But after first initial donation it won't let me withdraw without a verification code, which I tried to get. I just think it was poorly put together
I did everything and when i wanted to complete it an post iy would not let me. The "complete survey" button is on top of everything so when you go to click it, you end up pressing right through it an straight to one of the subject areas.
Would be good if for people with disabilities, communication problems and low IT skills; could use a phone line to talk to someone. 15 emails recently to sort a very minor issue. Although the staff sending the emails seem extremely friendly and very eager to help I personally prefer voice comms.
I needed some real help with this. I'm light headed and weak and I just couldn't really get any help. Had yto sell everything I owned and still struggling so badly.
I love this app. Its easy to access and had helped me through out My stages of being homeless. I still am hoping my to get my goal of 1,000. So far only 200. Thanks to all that have shown their support.
I made a GoFundMe page that tells people about my house's high rental pay, but I did not get a single dollar, nobody is pretty much helping me at all!
Had a little set back with the withdrawl hold and review, still waiting to see if I'll actually get the funds that were donated to me. But, So far, it's been a simple process.
Cannot manage my account, cannot connect to customer support. I also tried online, which took me only slightly farther, to the "Contact Us--Which Best Describes You?" page, but nothing drops down, clicks, or has a field that actually be entered. It's like an essay you'd like to edit, but some joker had laminated it, so you can't do squat.
My sister set this up for me and it's meant a lot. The world is a better, more connected place as a result. It's not just the money, but the actual love, compassion and empathy that this app brings to light. So very thankful.
It's not the app itself. It's just useless. No one wants to help people. They would rather help animals. It's been 3 months, I raised $400 or of $4000, to pay fort my husband's funeral. No one really cares.
Please help. I have finished making a profile and it will not allow me to press the submit button.... and I have written a very, very long article and don't want to lose it or have to restart. Please help. I've tried going back a page and have tried to get the submit button by itself and it still won't let me click on it.
This app is super easy to use. It tells me within seconds if there is a new donation allowing me to reply with a thank you quickly. No crashes, I am using it on a cheap 30$ smart phone and haven't had any problems.
The Go Fund Me app isn't bad. Most everything I've tried works just fine. However, I'm trying to do a video update and it keeps crashing. I get the video recorded and when I click okay as it trys to load it crashes. I'm not sure why. I prefer to do a video update. I'll try doing a photo update later to see if that works.
Helpful app to have and raise needed funds. Two stars lost for glitches that went unresolved even when asking for help. Couldn't add my account to withdraw and had to ask for it to be mailed as a cheque. Also percentage they take seems high. All in all it's helpful and ok
This app allow me to develop a set of skills. It is great to work with and that is the bet one for me out there in my opinion. You will love it from the moment you try it , I promise. Its very easy to use and it keeps you notified of things .
Facebook sign in needs much work. You basically have to register every time you want to look into a notification. Not as seamless as online
This is a marvelous idea but not being tech save I don't think I am reaching the people I want to. I have been desperate to help my dog without this site there would be no other way.
I downloaded this and raised some money then when I tried to withdraw it, it only sent me a fraction of the amount we had raised. When I go to the withdraw section it's just blank. There's no one who replies to help so the money is just stuck now and I can't refund or withdraw it. Got people asking where their donations are. I end up getting stick for trying to be helpful. Avoid this app like the plague. Use a UK based one and make sure you can actually speak to someone first cos this is American rubbish.
It has helped us share the story of my little brothers suicide, bring awareness to the lack of mental health resources in our province, and is helping raise money to repair the family home where his death took place.
I have to end up on the street and dead and still no one will care. "Go fund me" is fake.
This is been a really great app I started this for me and my baby he just had a second brain surgery and I got into after a second brain surgery the day after I got my went into operation room for my surgeries and this is really been helping us out thank you guys we appreciate everything
Was very easy to share the donation page and they gave tons of great tips to raise more money. I had to do some digging to find out what their earning percentage would be. But it wasn't much, though still it would be important to add an extra 10% to whatever your goal is to help cover just in case.
This app/company is okay. It's convenient and well known, so people trust in it to send funds, but the delay in receiving funds, as well as the fact their fee is a bit outrageous, doesn't make this a 5 star app/company. 1% or 2% I understand, but most of the people using GoFund truly need all the money they are asking for. However, MoneyGram would cost more and you have to take a lot more time out your day to send the money wether via online or in person at a MoneyGram station, so i guess I can't complain.
This app is not used friendly. I have been trying for four days to figure out how to add my account info so I can withdraw the funds and I cannot find it anywhere. All the "helpful" steps to do it have been anything but. As soon as I figure out how to get this money I am deleting the app and never using GoFundMe again.
Its really good to help fundraise, especially when your not a direct salesman! The fact that it takes money directly from donations is kinda frustrating.. Mine in particular will not sync with facebook so posting updates is difficult, although I dont think many people have that problem. Thats just why I gave it 4 stars.
It allows you to check your Campaign pretty quickly, which I like. The main two problems I have, though, is that you can't make the picture you're using smaller (which I tried but kept setting it back) and that the Save Changes button covers the description of your Campaign. Otherwise, it's pretty decent.
This company is the worse. They want a portion of what is donated to you though people don't know about that part and they advertise main stream popular donation campaigns. How does donations to help glamorize someone's dog get,1,000$ while someone who is critically injured can't get one donation?
Very helpful app. I just have a general gripe with GoFundMe that you cannot set an account to donate to multiple charities at once. This should be an easy fix. Instead I had to create multiple campaigns that competed with eachother. Customer service was lovely, and I'm happy there's an app that allows us to fundraise for worthy causes.
Downloaded app. Tried to log in using Facebook. Bad token. Tried to log in using email. Account doesn't exist. Tried to setup using email. Account already taken. Tried to reset password. Account doesn't exist. Emailed assistance for help and they said to check out their FAQs. Explained issue again and was told to use a different email and device (instead of my primary email, Facebook or my cellular phone. Uninstalled.
I had an issue with understanding how withdrawal worked ..couldn't figure it out myself so emailed the company. I got an immediate response from a very pleasant and knowledgeable person who reassured me and gave me a detailed account of my GoFundMe deposits and withdrawals. This is a great app AND company, who have helped me through a really tough time! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!
Tried to start a campaign to help my dad who had legal battle and lost a lot of money to fight it. I was told I violated some terms of service which I did not. They bad costumer service and their admins are in power trips. I do not recommend this app to any one.
GoFundMe has made life a lot less stressful these past few days. My puppy injured his eye and needs it removed, and using GoFundMe has given me a chance to pay for the surgery without selling everything I own to get the money together in a hurry.
I tried to update my campaign via the link I was able to add on my computer's browser, but you can't even read the last few lines of text in the description if it is long. How can I edit it if I can't even see it through the giant green Save Changes button?! I also hate how gofundme in general pushes making an account and making a new campaign over signing in to your account and looking at the one you already have. I logged into the app for the first time and it sent me straight into making a new campaign. I had to force stop the app and open it again to get the management page. Awful design.
App is very easy to use, pretty much walks you thru it step by step. It's helping me thru a really hard time and I couldn't thank the developers enough. God bless you all and again, thank you so much for creating such a wonderful thing.
I never thought I would ever have to use this until my oldest sister lost her oldest on 8-11-17. She is on SSI and having a hard time paying for cremation and unable to aford a Urn for my nephew's ashes. I can't thank you for creating this site. God Bless.
App does not show campaign dashboard once logged in. It will only show it once and then checking back will show find a campaign page. It used to be good. But now I have to log out and back in. Just to check. Luckily the website on laptop still works. App not so friendly.
Had a little confusion with deleting an account early on but customer service helped me and worked through each and every step to fix my issue. Have had good experience using this App.
It has been an excellent tool to help my daughter raise funds for figure skating. Very easy to use, and people can donate very easily. There are few things that are little more difficult, but when you ask for help through support they answer you very quickly.
Gofundme is the greatest way to contact people you know and don't know to ask for financial help for issues that arise in your life that you never thought imaginable and certainly not financially able to afford...but you get to share you life altering events with friends, family and strangers that feel your pain and or joy and want to see you succeed in whatever you are attempting to do, because they know you truly need their help to accomplish your goal and by their actions we truly do succeed...even if they do not have it to give to you financially, just their willingness to like and share your story speaks volumes to your support!!! We have not had many that have supported our campaign, but those that have, have gone over and above what we have expected to receive....it also get the information to people who don't believe in over the phone transactions, but have given tremendously by way of mail and stopping by... I thank you, "Gofundme," for helping us get closer to my brother seeing his youngest granddaughter!!! Much love and thank you, Family and Friends and Friends of Family and Friends!!! Like and share

I loved my experience with Gofundme it literally saved all my memories of my mother who has passed. I had only days left until my things would be lost forever. I was devastated with no options but the Gofundme app was easy to use and fun. I'm not a technical person and I had no trouble at all and there are tons of useful tools, coaching and support right in your inbox. My initial goal was reached in just days. I would recommend it highly to everyone. Thanks Gofundme
